Abstract:
Urease is known as a virulence factor of some pathogen resulting a variety of diseases such as peptic ulcers, gastric cancer, pyelonephritis, and kidney stones. In this paper, a novel series of sulfamide-hydroxamic acids containing piperazine/piperidine segment were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as urease inhibitors. All the synthesized compounds (d1-d16 and d17-d33) having IC50 values ranging from 0.29 to 20.3 µM were more potent than the clinically used inhibitor acetohydroxamic acid (AHA, IC50 = 23.4 ± 1.6 μM), with the most active inhibitor (d4) being over 80 times that of AHA. These novel urease inhibitors were proved to reversibly inhibit urease with mixed mechanism, had almost no cytotoxicity to mammalian cells at a concentration of 250 μg/mL, and showed favorable water solubility with drug-likeness. These positive results give a guarantee for further bioassays to develop a new drug candidate.

Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
